A Death Bed Sensation.

CINCINNATI. Nov. l9.-Society in Gin
cinnati s aristocratic suburb, Avondale. is
excited over a death bed sensation. Last
Tuesday afternoon Samuel g. Tatum, Jr.,
a very pominent young business man and
the son and heir of a Cincinnati million
aire, died at his elegant home on Kasota
avenue. He was but little over 30 years
old, and though a trife peculiar in his
ways was regarded as a great prize by
manageable young ladies, though he was
deemed a confirmed bachelor. AS the
body lay at the house on Wednesday a
carriage drove up and an elegantly dressed
lady alighted. Her black eyes, lark hair
and features indicated French descent.
She hurriedly walked to the front door
and excitedly demanded that she be per-
mitted to see the remains of Mr.. Tatum.
The womau's manner was so strange and
her agitation so noticeable that this was
refused. She insisted hat she had a
right to what she asked, and in proof
took from her pocket a document and
handed it over to the member of the
household who had responded to the ring
of the bell. 1t proved to be a formal GER
tifcate of marriage of Samuel Tatum, Jr.,
to Marie Frances Emommin, at Dayton,
two years ago. All of the family were
naturally surprised when confronted with
this evidence of Tatum's double life, and
a consultation was hurriedly held, ending
in the visitor being c~ourteously invited in.
1t now turns out that the mysterious
woman is the daughter of poor and plain
people at Dayton. Four years ago she
left home to be treated for some com
plant at a hospital in this city. She
returned home with a husband in the
person of a distinguished looking young
gentleman named Herbert Linton. The
couple later went to housekeeping in Gin
%cinnati, on West Eighth street, and Mr..
Unions room appears in the directory.
Linton was no other than Tatum. In
time the woman discovered the husbands
right name, and compelled him. two years
ago, to marry her under his right name.
The ceremony was performed in Buffalo,
N. Y. All this time Tatum was living a
double life, and his friends never sus-
pected the true situation until his death,
when the widow turned up with a mar
rage certificate. She is now at the sub
urban home. and will come into pos
session of a cool half million in her own
right.

w ELL HEELED.
How a Cheyenne Policeman DIsarmed
Desperate.


The arrest of a stranger the other day
for carrying a concealed weapon is the first
apprehension of a violation of an ordi-
nance enacted for the purpose of discour-
aging men to 60 armed while in the city
which has occurred for some time. The
event doubtless reminds all old timers of
the difficulty experienced il enforcing this
ordinance shortly after its adoption. At
that time Jack Watkins, a once famous
desperate. made his headquarters in this
city. The officers made it a rule in those
days to become the custodian of the arms
of all visitors bearing bad regulations
while they remained in the city.
One evening word was sent to the city
hall that Jack Watkins, bristling with six
shooters and bowie knives, had taken
possession of a Themes street dance ball,
and was running affairs to suit his own
peculiar style. 1t scarcely need be stated
that jack style was Questionable to ev-
erybody. One of his pet foibles was to
shoot out the lights and murder any
one who had the temerity to interfere
with this dark pastime.
The chief of police selected a cour-
ageous and trusty officer and dispatched
him to the dive, with instructions to dis
arm the demonstrative Watkins at all
hazards.
The nervy policeman bore out his repu-
tation of being a man who took no
chances" Getting the drop on Jack
he searched the desperate.
From each boot of Troublesome Wat
kins' he removed a six shooter and bowie
knife. Similar armament was taken from
the prisoners belt. Between his vest and
shirt, neatly arranged on a fastener de-
vised by the wearer, reposed another large
revolver and a murderous looking dirk
knife. In each coat pocket was a der.
ringer of improved pattern.
OF course the officer created a sensation
when he returned to the central station
with a CARLOAD of artillery and cutlasses,
but Watkins was less concerned than the
man looking for an ~impounded COW when
he called for his artillery.

Sullivan Still in Clover.

with the coachmanlike Marquis OF
Queensberry and other gentlemen of title
basking in his smiles. The big man's
feelings were hurt at the performance
of Wednesday, when the enthusiasm OF
the impecunious among his admirers
moved 200 of them to carry away the
doorkeepers and seize seats In st. James
hall without money and without price.
But the pile of sovereigns which is sure
to come in is so great that the sorrow
has been forgotten. Thousands of let.
tiers and kilograms pour IN upon him on
every conceivable subject. He has be
come a recognized feature in English life,
and enters into all the calculations OF
law and order of every little local police,
man.

Two Coal Breakers Burned.

WnKEsRARRE. Nov. 19.-Coxe Bros.
and Cos No. 2 model breaker, near
Hazelton, was burned to the ground this
morning. Loss $4,000; insurance 800
900. A breaker belonging to the New
Buck Mountain Coal company was also
burned. Loss SSU. 900; partly insured.
The burning of the two breakers caused
considerable excitement and rumors were
current that they had been set on fire by
strikers. They were also rumors that
appeals had been sent to the governor for
troops to protect the mine property No
appeal, however, has been sent to the
governor and it is believed here and
throughout the mining district that the
miners have had nothing whatever to do
with the burning of the breakers.

Irritability of Sensitive Plants.

Plants afford examples of excessive ir-
ritabiity, arising from imperfect nutri-
ton. Some sensitive plants were sowed
in clear sand, and others in vegetable
mold mixed with sand in different proper
tons. The first, which had nothing but
air to feed upon, languished and died;
they were extremely sensitive to the
slightest touch; a breath or slight motion
of the pot made them droop. Those
plants which had a third or two-thirds Of
vegetable mold were still irritable, but in
a less degree, and would not bloom.
Those which had pure vegetable earth be-
came robust and nearly insensitive; strik-
ing their leaves with a stick would make
them double up, but they would unfold
again almost in an instant. Popular

MEMPHIS. Tenn. Nov. l9 For the past
ten days, forest fires have been raging all
around this section of the country and
owing to the extreme dryness of every

Press.
BERLIN, Nov. 19.-Though nothing
has been officially announced regarding
Prince Bismarck long interview with the
car, it is an open secret in diplomatic
circles that Bismarck energeticallv urged
the car to assist in putting an end to
Russia economic war with Germany
He is understood to have spoken frankly
and earnestly with the car, not mincing
matters, but stating plainly what personal
obstacles existed within the Russian gov
nmen and operated against the restora-
ton of amicable relations. If the condi
tons proposed by Bismarck be fulfilled
there probably will be a reconstruction of
the Russian ministry. The car, it is be-
lieved, is ready to throw over DeGiers,
with whom he is displeased for his deal
ings in Bulgaria and his failure to check
the Central European alliance. What
ever a%pproachment between Russia and
Germany Is effected, it will remain with
out influence on Russia relations towards
a triple alliance.
The important announcement is made
to night that owing to the illness of the
crown prince, Prince William will, by
command of the emperor, represent his
father in all further state ceremonies and
receptions. Prince William does not
swerve from his admiration for Prince
Bismarck. He is devoted to the chancel-
lor's theories of. government and will Im-
plicitly submit to his guidance. There
was such a marked improvement in the
crown princes condition to day that DR..
Lowell declared he even began to hope for
his recovery. 1t is said now that the
princes malady is traceable to hereditary
predisposition. His grandmother, Queen
Louise, died from cancerous tumOrs on
her lungs.
